Europe’s ‘Green’ Energy Transition Is A Delusion: Global Data Shows The EU’s pretense of ‘transition’ leadership is an economic loser as ‘the world continues to depend massively on fossil fuels’
https://climatechangedispatch.com/europes-green-energy-transition-is-a-delusion-global-data-shows/ by Samuel Furfari An Energy Institute report reveals a Europe clinging to the pretense of leading an “energy transition” as the continent declines under the weight of climate policies whose quixotically utopian objectives are negated elsewhere by fossil fuel-supported economic growth. [some emphasis, links added] Data from the 75th edition of the annual “Statistical Review of World […]
Northeastern States Rollback Unaffordable Green Energy Policies
https://dcjournal.com/northeastern-states-rollback-unaffordable-green-energy-policies/ by Gabriella Hoffman For decades, some states have aggressively prioritized green energy mandates over reliability and affordability. Today, many are grappling with energy crises that are entirely self-inflicted. While legislators blame the Trump administration, data centers and energy producers for rising costs, the data show that blame falls squarely on state-level clean energy mandates. […]
Fossil fuels still dominate the globe, providing 86.3% of primary energy — despite trillions of dollars spent on energy ‘transition’ – With the current pace of ‘green’ energy, it would take centuries to reach net-zero
Just the News Excerpt: The 2026 “Statistical Review of World Energy” finds that 86.3% of primary energy consumption was derived from fossil fuels last year. This is down from 86.6% the previous year. …
Nuclear, hydroelectric and other carbon-free generation technologies reached their highest level ever in 2025. Their share of the global energy picture stood at 14% in 2025, climbing steadily over the past decade. …
Coal was the largest source of global energy, taking up nearly one-third of the total, a decrease from the 33.7% in 2024. Natural gas was the next largest source of energy at 21.9%, and hydroelectric accounted for just under 14% last year. …
Global solar power rose by 30% in 2025 over the previous year, and its share of total generation reached 8.7%, which surpassed wind, at 8.4%. Solar’s share nearly matches nuclear power’s share at 8.8%. …
Dr. Roger Pielke Jr., a climate researcher and senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, points out in his “The Honest Broker” Substack … With respect to climate policies, the pace of change is agonizingly slow. Based on the growth in the past 10 years, Pielke wrote, it would take centuries to reach net-zero. …
Electricity Markets & Engineering Realities: ‘It is telling that while [solar & wind] developers routinely claim their energy is now the cheapest available, they never argue that subsidies are therefore no longer needed’
Special to Climate Depot By Bryan Leyland The prime objective of any modern power system is to deliver a reliable and economic supply over the long term, whereas the prime objective of any market system is to maximize profit. For electricity markets to work, their rules must reward those who best provide reliable, affordable power. […]

Harvard Study Finds Wind Turbines Will Cause More Warming Than Emissions Reductions Would Avert
https://energybadboys.substack.com/p/harvard-study-finds-wind-turbines By ENERGY BAD BOYS AND MITCH ROLLING Excerpt: A few weeks ago, we wrote about how Gallup polling found 66 percent of Americans think the environment is getting worse despite the fact that air quality in the United States has improved dramatically since the 1970’s. This improvement was due in large part to the […]
California’s $2.2 billion solar plant is shutting down after at least 6,000 birds incinerated each year
California’s $2.2 billion solar plant is shutting down. Once hailed as a breakthrough, the Ivanpah Solar Facility in the Mojave Desert is now a case study in failed technology and environmental risk. Built with $1.6 billion in federal loans in 2014, the plant was hailed as a… pic.twitter.com/lzCV2cPHQo — Electroverse (@Electroversenet) April 29, 2026
‘Green energy’ is bringing back the atrocities of ‘blood diamonds’
https://www.americaoutloud.news/green-energy-is-bringing-back-the-atrocities-of-blood-diamonds/ By Ronald Stein P.E. & Frits Byron Soepyan Excerpt: Executive Orders in the United States are moving the country away from electric vehicles (EVs) and wind and solar electricity systems. Executive Orders issued by President Trump on January 20, 2025, ended the EV mandate, giving consumers back the power to choose the car they want to […]
Trump blocks wind farms on national security grounds – Halts more than 150 projects, including the largest turbine development in the US
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2026/05/03/trump-blocks-wind-farms-national-security-grounds/ UK Telegraph excerpt: Donald Trump has halted wind farm projects across the US, suggesting they are a threat to national security and the environment. More than 150 projects are understood to be on hold amid suggestions that they interfere with defence radar systems. It marks the latest crackdown on wind power by the Trump […]
Analysis: Fossil fuels are not holding economies hostage at all. The higher a nation’s GDP per capita, the more carbon-intensive economies are
This is a lie. Fossil fuels are not holding economies hostage at all. The higher a nation’s GDP per capita, the more carbon-intensive economies are. I’m not saying a transition cannot occur, but let the free market decide. I am all for innovation, not government-mandated… https://t.co/zkgteqDGtQ pic.twitter.com/NnuJnhBVij — Chris Martz (@ChrisMartzWX) April 22, 2026
